Subject: 2.4.13 Mem Related Hangs
Date: Mon, 05 Nov 2001 09:29:00 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1004974140.19387.14.camel@crash.fnal.gov> (raw)
We have a 8 CPU/8GB Dell 8450 running 2.4.13 (NFS and XFS patches) which
hangs regularly.
I'd say that the problem is memory related. What seems to occur is that
mem cache grows until physical mem is exhausted at which time the system
hangs.
This is the top screen that printed out seconds before the machine
became unresponsive. I was typing in another window and it stopped
responding but this screen had just updated.
